Big House of Horrors
It was a big housewith many different shaped windows. Also, it had a dirt driveway.The house was near a muddy, ugly lake. I swear the day we movedin was the scariest day of my life.
I should start at the beginning, My name is Rose Kelly. I live ina house of four. Mom, dad, and my sister Donna Kelly. My bestfriend is Donna. She is twelve years old. Donna is funny, niceand considerate. Many people at school think it is odd that Ihave my sister as my best friend. I think she is very pretty. Shehas brown hair, brown eyes and a tan, that she was born with.Also, it compliments her hair.(Sometimes we fight, but not a lot.)Donna loves to be on stage, and she is not superstious oranything like that. Both of us are down to earth.
On Monday, Donna asked about the move. I told her I was “freakedout” about it. When we got home, I asked mom what theaddress would be? She said “450 Spirit Lane.” I do notlike the sound of that. “Mom ,the name Spirit Lane gives methe creeps!” “Sweet heart, it is a nice house! Honey,want to look at some photos of the house?” mom asked. I said“OK.” I took pictures of the photos with my digitalcamera, then I put the photos on my laptop. When I zoomed intothe pictures, I could see strange images. I thought they wereghosts! I showed mom the pictures. She said, “Maybe it is ablur on the screen.”
When we moved into the house, I heard strange sounds, emptyrocking chairs rocked, lights turned on and off, water turned onand off, too. One night, I saw the ghosts myself! They lookedlike a family. The ghosts looked see-through. The ghosts werescary and I was very afraid to see that someone lived here beforeus! I thought that this must be a dream. I will blink and then Iwill be awake! Oh no, it was not a dream! My family did notbelieve in ghosts. “Hello,” I said trembling, “Whatdo you want? My family just moved here and I did not want to moveaway from my friends.” In the blink of an eye, I could see aphoto album placed on the couch. As I flipped through the pages,I gasped! The family of ghosts once lived in this house!
Only when my family saw the strange happenings did they want toleave. The ghosts wanted us to leave, too. Everything we touchedin the house including the water and phone did not work. Theghosts made terrible wailing noises. We felt trapped! I thought Iwould never see my friends again. By morning dad, mom, Donna andI decided to leave. We are safe now. Now we live in the samehouse we moved out of and to this day, we swear that the scariestday of our lives was our moving day!
